My 50th birthday coincided with disturbing events in my beloved country, Lebanon. On a positive note, I met the founder of Atari, Nolan Bushnell, who founded Atari 50 years ago. It is with Atari that my computer career first began at the age of six. The first thing that I said to Mr Nolan was thank you for what you invented, which shaped my life forever. I then got my 50-year Atari signed by him. It will be framed and hung in my home office as a reminder of such a beautiful invention. #retrocomputing #retrogaming #atari
